Super Producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis met in high school in Minneapolis and formed a band called Flyte Tyme, which evolved into the Time. In 1981, Morris Day joined and the trio toured with Prince as his opening act. As members of The Time, they recorded three of the group’s four albums, including “The Time,” “What Time Is It?” and “Pandemonium.” The first two albums are said to have shaped early ’80s R&B music and prepared the duo for groups like The Deele and their most popular collaborator, Janet Jackson.
